Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is pushing back on Trump’s criticism of Chicago saying:
“It’s no surprise that @realDonaldTrump brought his insulting, ignorant buffoonery to Chicago. Luckily, in this city, we know the truth and we will not let anyone — no matter how high the office — denigrate who we are as a people or our status as a welcoming city.”
Trump attacks Chicago Superintendent of Police Eddie Johnson for boycotting his speech at the event. Says he’s not doing his job, then goes into a lurid description of Chicago’s crime problems. Attacking Chicago has often been a proxy for Republicans attacking black communities. pic.twitter.com/i6uOQB64NA
